Local media said Delhi, India’s capital territory just north of Parvatiya Colony, was in danger of flooding next, as water released from the Hathni Kund Barrage on the rising Yamuna river could flood low-lying areas.

Indian media said on August 13 that water from the dam was expected to reach Delhi within the next three days.
